I'd take a step back and go thru some product/market fit exercises to get a handle on all the potential markets, market size and monetization options. go talk to customers/users and determine how best/if to monetize. If the market(s) isn't big enough or if you can't monetize it then it's a passion project and you can make decisions accordingly. if the market is big enough and there is a clear path to revenue and profit then your pool of options is larger. I'd look at adding some skills to the team - not knowing the market it's hard to say which skills specifically, but at least 1 or 2 people with the experience to validate market and monetization and execution on the business side.

Recommendations: (1) find someone with industry and business expertise to help you; (2) ID any way to protect your intellectual property; (3) devise a realistic business plan, budget, capital requirements, and projections; (4) understand the concept of the "pivot", and act appropriately; (5) consult a securities lawyer to study spin-off alternatives, partnership financings, etc. DO NOT RELY ON YOUR INTELLIGENCE AND INSTINCTS ALONE - THERE ARE TOO MANY LAWS, REGULATIONS, AND BUMPS IN THE ROAD TO HANDLE WITHOUT EXPERT HELP.
